Episode 2 - Encounter (2) - Success

Kosei is standing in front of the school building, facing cold glass with his reflection on it. The glass is almost like a mirror, reflecting everything facing to the school building. When you look up, you will see how tall the lobby is, it would probably about 8 to 9 meters tall form ground to the ceiling. Suddenly the glass door opens in front of him.

The sound of the automatic glass door opens is so smooth, it almost feel like he is entering the future. The light touches the school lobby for the first time after a month, but yet there are no dust viewed anywhere on the floor, the furniture, and the walls. It's all clean and almost hygienic.

Kosei look carefully at how his feet are greeted by the red carpet, covering the entire lobby floor. The left and right side of the lobby is the elevator, it shows there are 3 floor and underground floor in the building. Kosei's attention breaks out when the automatic perfume sprays the lobby, altering his attention to the school atmosphere. There are several couch and an admin desk left untouched, it seems like the workers are not here yet.

Kosei then takes out his small note on his right pocket, and then wagging some of the pages until he finds the page he is looking for. Some several notes are there, written with precision and aesthetic. He looks at the yellow marked writing on the top left of the page, It was written,

"Your class is B-1-C!"

He closed the notebook with both of his small hands, and put them back in the pocket.

"Yosh!" He said while clenched his hand into a fist, looking straight to the front.

He starts walking from the lobby to the hallway. When he enters, his eye is greeted by the length of the room. It's so extensive and long! It probably can fit tons of people in it. He raises his head to look at the class sign in the first floor, which is class C all over the first floor hallway. He moves his head to left and right, looking for where the stairs to the second floor is.

He finds the stair and straight up climbs through it. As he climb the stair, the view of the second floor is slowly rising, Kosei sees the sun light illuminate the room, the bouncing light of the sun shines straight to Kosei's eye, with a trace of wooden tiles printed on the floor.

He take a peek to see what's out of the window, revealing the school's backyard, filled with gardens and sport fields. His eye somehow shines brightly with a lot of sheen reflected from his cornea, "oof..!" his mouth said spontaneously.  The school backyard is super big, even though he did have read some of the school details, he never expects the sport field is going to be really that big.

Not so long after that, he ends up stumble upon his class. He looks at the door, it was made out of clean cut dark oak wood, with a metal handle and a glass covering the top of it. Kosei reach the door handle and pull it, opening the door, to the class. When it's open, the smell of the chalk is the first thing he notice. It's a fresh, brand new chalk that he is smelling right there. It makes him remember how his old school is all filled with how stink the ink markers are.

His eye then looks at the whole class, it's huge! The height from the floor to the ceiling probably is around 2 to 3 meters, and it really is giving you the sense of space. The class floor is made of a wooden floor pattern, even though it's a ceramic, the color and the feeling of it really gives off a prestigious feeling. The ceiling is filled with several LED lights, from the front to the back. Kosei then looks at the back of the class, he sees a short yet wide drawer with a wide wallboards on top of it, meanwhile, on the right and left side of the wallboard, these place are the place where the air conditioner is on. Turning to the left, he notices the clock is ticking on the wall of the class, meanwhile on the right, it's all glass window, with a view going straight to the school's backyard.

"Naiiisu! I'm first to be in the class!"

He then looks at the teacher's desk, since there is a bright yellow paper written there,

"the first to come to the class may pick the seat of their own.

-signed, by the teacher with a very weird signature"

"hehe.." he chuckles a bit, then he looks at the seat on the row that sticks to the wall.

This move was calculated.

There is a reason of why Kosei comes to school early in the first day, because there is a chance of him to choose his own seats.

"This happened long, long ago.. in a primary school far far away, where his favorite seat ALWAYS, ALWAYS been taken by his rival. The best seats on the class is the one that is the nearest to the air conditioner, and the nearest to the wall, which means the left side of the class, and on the middle column! There are several benefits for this kind of critical thinking.

First!

There are two source of backrest for those who takes the seat the nearest to the wall. This is beneficial for those who doesn't sleep just to study for the test tomorrow, which is crucial after they have finished their tests.

Second!

The light of the sun sucks. Sitting near the window and on the middle of the row will be those who get their skin burned. This is reality, and you can't deny them, because these facts has been proven by generation after generation.

Yet, I'm sure some of the readers ask, why must on the middle**column**?

There are several reasons for this.

Sitting on the last column is not a great idea, because if you did, you will not receive the wind from the air conditioner,

at all.

To think of the logic, the air conditioner directs the wind to be in front of it, which means the last column will never gets the chill of the wind. Other than that, the reason why Kosei wants to have a seat on the middle column is also for him to be able to hear the teacher's teaching,

meanwhile, he can still maintains his own privacy.

*He can still hiding "something" from his teacher, since there is someone is sitting in front of him.

And last,*

The front seats are for nerds. If you sit on the front line, it's almost like a battlefield. 24 hours monitored by the teacher, you will have no chance to have any hidden leisure**activities**.

And that what brings Kosei to his conclusion of the best seat in the school,

The seat where it sticks to the wall on the middle column!

This is Kosei's first smart, careful, and decisive move on his first year of school! He may be short, not tall, but he is agile and smart!

Kosei smug is dominating his face expression.

"HA."

He starts to walk to the seat he wants to be on.

"HA."

He put his backpack off, putting it in the Desk's drawer.

"HA."

He sits on the wooden chair, with his smug face still turned on.

Huffff!

Kosei closed his eye as he fills all the capacity of his lung with air,

Fuaahhh!

He releases the air in his lungs with enjoyment, because his effort to wake up at dawn is not wasted.

He then quickly brings out his head pillow out of his backpack, and puts it on.

He relaxed his body on the wooden chair, as he waits for the sun to rise, and the other classmates to fill in the class. He currently looks like he has fulfilled the purpose of his life.
